The idea of a roundtable is to get a set of 3-6 people working a lot in this area to identify the issues, spark a discussion and debate to identify the issues, and get the conversation flowing. From these will arise points to work on in Day 2. Everyone is assigned somewhere.
Chairs: I will try to set an example for what it means to be a "Chair" in session 1. Chairs are also participants in the roundtable, but should think of some questions to get the discussion going. I (Ken) will try to set an example in RT 1.
